    I like watching others build their civics. currently doing research and writing down a bunch an entire list down to do a engine swap on my 05 em2. I want to keep it forever so it's getting the entire treatment from motor to suspension to paint (current paint has bubbles and rust) I don't plan to talk about the motor swap anymore on social media until it's done. It's not a common swap civic guys would do.

    I'm an old dude (59) and wanting to K-swap my '02 EM2. Looking at K20A2 because I do like smaller engines (than a 2.4) for their economy plus I like the rev happy 200 HP specs on it. Is that the same esk kit or whatever you talked about? I know I need an RSX subframe and the new engine, trans and ECM but I know virtually nothing other than that and the D17A2 bites. Well mine has been great but 127 hp isn't too much.....lol
